I’m seriously considering the MP5SD as my first sear host. Looking to pair an Omega clone with a SD suppressor. Seems like TPM is highly recommended... but the traditional 12” length or the new 8” suppressor length??

I only have experience with the 12" suppressor, but that's the one I would go with. TPM's can is so lightweight that I don't think the length matters. Plus, my inner purist...
And the point of the SD, to me, is to be as quiet as possible in a semi auto host. I think the 12" makes the most sense unless you just really place a high priority on the length. |

So what's the difference? Did they change the baffle construction/arrangement? Seems interesting to me that they can remove 1/3 of their volume and get the same reduction in sound. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My Omega has some pretty awful accuracy at 25 yards with the TPM can. Hopefully it's just shitty Prvi and UMC ammo.

Everything is the same, with some better and tighter tolerance differences, 2 baffles removed. Like I said, to the ear, they sound damn near identical indoors. Haven't shot one outdoors so I can't speak to that effect. Don't have a dB meter to measure them. Matt at TPM was going to do some readings on them. Only thing left to do is thread the tubes and get them hard anodized. Are those shooting impressions from the shooter’s ear? Or bystanders? I’m wondering if the action noise of the MP5 itself makes it hard to tell a noticeable difference... but an obvious one for others nearby. |

FWIW, my Omega SD did not come with a Sealing Ring installed. It did come with some wacky looking washing/o-ring in a bag which looked like it might have fit, but I elected not to try to install it and ordered a genuine one from HK Parts. Mine seems accurate enough with a Curtis Tactical can. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Accuracy seemed reasonable at 15-30’ . I only tried two 30 round mags. More of a function check of my new Omega SD. I will report back when transfer of the TPM can happens. I bought a spare sealing ring from hkparts.net anyway. |

I owe @Engineer a big thanks for posting the recommendation for Curtis Tactical about 20 pages ago. I want to have my Sten turned into a Mk. II(S), an integrally silenced version of the Sten with a ported barrel, just like the MP5SD. Actually, I've read that the Sten Mk. II(S) was the first silenced SMG, which would make it the grandfather of the SD. Everyone on UziTalk recommended KGB Arms / Andy Blaschik, who carries a legendary reputation in the Sten / Sterling world, but his design uses a washer-spacer-washer arrangement. Everything else about it sounded perfect, but I just wasn't comfortable going with technology that old.
I emailed Curtis Tactical / Joseph Jones with a very specific list of criteria that I thought would make the perfect Sten silencer, and asked what he thought. 15 minutes later I had an email back from him saying he's already drawn up EXACTLY what I have in mind for his own Sten, and once I send a barrel and barrel nut his direction, he'll have a reason to go ahead and make one for himself and for me!
So in a few short decades when the ATF decides to approve some forms, I'll be the proud owner of what will probably be the quietest ever Sten Mk. II(S) courtesy of Curtis Tactical. I am STOKED, and I would have never heard about him if not for Engineer's post. @goloud I need a Welrod to finish the trio of automatic, semi-automatic, and...manual. Any update on the B&T VP9? Cost, release date, actual baffles vs. wipes? Integrally suppress all the things! |

Kinda still up in the air about getting one too. Now I got my honey badger I kinda want to SD to complete the "old and new." Just wondering how much I want to spend.
I already have extra mags and parts and stocks so adding another Mp5 seems like I would save some on accessories..  Or at least how I want to justify it in my mind.

No suppressor required. Lot of options if you have a threaded 3-lug barrel. MP5SD needs its own specific suppressor. Get MP5 first and your mags, spare parts, etc. Then if you get an SD down the road, you're already "there"

Why MP5 over MP5SD? My list would have the SD at the bottom with a tossup between the "K" and the MP5 as 1 or 2 depending on what your needs/wants are. Also - if you reload, you can tune a load to produce near SD-like performance without having $4K + 2 stamps sunk into a one trick pony. |
